In California I smelt the breath a Blue Whale as it passed feet beneath my boat. There is no feeling in the world like knowing your helping something you care about, whether its sharks or puffins, protecting forests or reefs, advancing science or communities. In the Bahamas I swam in a pod of feeding dolphins.

The first obstacle was getting to the general range of the species, which is the west coast from northern California to Alaska and across to Russia.* There was no pretending this was a whale-watching trip, a ruse that is growing stale anyway. What were these obstacles and did I surmount them? But how to get there? In a heartbeat!

It is a smell, however, that I am barely able to smell anymore, as three years of working breeding seasons on seabird islands of the Farallones in California have apparently dulled my ability to do so. A great place to watch whales and pelagic seabirds. As well as gulls the islands home large colonies of Brandt’s Cormorants.
